From the Organizer
Join us for June’s $5 5K on Thursday, June 18 at 6 pm! This month’s beneficiary is the The Good Samaritan Center. Their mission is to help families in crisis, focusing on basic needs that include food, clothing and shelter. You can find out more about their programs and outreach through their Facebook or Instagram pages or at goodsamaritancenter.org.
SO, grab $5 and your friends and come walk or run a no pressure 5K (3.1 miles)! ALL PROCEEDS will go straight to the Good Samaritan Center! If you don’t want to do the whole 5K, you can turn around and head back at any point. You can even just come for support and don’t have to walk a step!
As always, walk up registration will also be available at the event!
